I'm making a scarecrow for our scarecrow festival and what I would really like to do is have a button that a passerby can press and then a song plays. So I'd need weatherproof speaker and remote/button/something, and something that would just play one song. Is there anything off the shelf that would do this? Looking at my #emfcamp peeps because this would probably be up their alley. (bonus points if I can attach fairy or disco lights to the button that come on too)
Ohai, nice to meet you.
Having something that plays a song when a button is pressed is super easy.
The simplest solution would be a board like this:

If you want to also light up something, maybe check out neopixel based products.
In this case i would use an esp32 or something similar with a little waveshield.
Have fun tinkering!
